  • Research Review: Conceptualizing and measuring ‘problem behavior’ in early intervention autism research – a project AIM secondary systematic review

    Open AccessKristen Bottema‐beutel, Ruoxi Guo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2025

  • Hablando at home: Examining the interactional resources of a bilingual autistic child

    Open AccessShana R Cohen, Alison Wishard Guerra et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language2025

    Daily language interactions predict child outcomes. For multilingual families who rear neurodiverse children and who may be minoritized for their language use, a dearth of research examines families’ daily language interactions. Utilizing a language socialization framework and a case study methodology, 4,991 English and Spanish utterances from a 5-year old autistic child and his family were collected during naturally occurring interactions over 1…

  • Autistic Undergraduates' Experiences and Intentions to Persist in College

    So Yoon Kim, Shannon Crowley et al.ARTICLEJournal of college student…2024Cited by: 1

    This study examined autistic undergraduate students' college experiences and their perceptions about their intentions to persist in college. Semi-structured online interviews were conducted with 27 autistic undergraduate students (mean age = 21.8 years; 40.7% men), and their responses were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Students discussed their perspectives about revealing their autism diagnosis, the value of the social community or…

  • Anti-ableism and scientific accuracy in autism research: A false dichotomy

    Open AccessKristen Bottema-Beutel, Kristen Bottema‐beutel et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    It was recently argued that autism researchers committed to rejecting ableist frameworks in their research may sacrifice "scientifically accurate" conceptualizations of autism. In this perspective piece, we argue that: (a) anti-ableism vs. scientific accuracy is a false dichotomy, (b) there is no ideology-free science that has claim to scientific accuracy, and (c) autism science has a history of false leads in part because of unexamined ableist i…

  • Avoiding Ableist Language: Suggestions for Autism Researchers

    Open AccessKristen Bottema-Beutel, Kristen Bottema‐beutel et al.ARTICLEAutism in Adulthood2021

    In this commentary, we describe how language used to communicate about autism within much of autism research can reflect and perpetuate ableist ideologies (i.e., beliefs and practices that discriminate against people with disabilities), whether or not researchers intend to have such effects. Drawing largely from autistic scholarship on this subject, along with research and theory from disability studies and discourse analysis, we define ableism a…

  • Research Review: Conflicts of Interest (COIs) in autism early intervention research – a meta‐analysis of COI influences on intervention effects

    Open AccessKristen Bottema‐beutel, Shannon Crowley et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2021

    BACKGROUND: The presence, types, disclosure rates, and effects of conflicts of interest (COIs) on autism early intervention research have not previously been studied. The purpose of this study was to examine these issues. METHODS: This study is a secondary analysis of a comprehensive meta-analysis of all group-design, nonpharmacological early intervention autism research conducted between 1970 and 2018. We coded reports for the presence/absence o…

  • “They can even make waiting in line fun”: A quantitative content analysis of autistic children's friendship conceptualizations

    Open AccessCaitlin Malloy, Josephine Cuda et al.ARTICLEPsychology in the Schools2020

    We explored third‐ to fifth‐grade children's friendship concepts in 20 autistic and 21 nonautistic students matched for mental age. Transcripts of semi‐structured interviews were coded for definitions of friendship, friendship expectations, and friendship transgressions (i. e., violations of friendship expectations), and subjected to quantitative content analysis. Findings demonstrated that children's definitions of friendship were largely aligne…

  • Project AIM: Autism intervention meta-analysis for studies of young children

    In this comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of group design studies of nonpharmacological early interventions designed for young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), we report summary effects across 7 early intervention types (behavioral, developmental, naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention [NDBI], TEACCH, sensory-based, animal-assisted, and technology-based), and 15 outcome categories indexing core and related…
